I'm trying to understand how to properly display text with condensed line spacing in a text field. When I set paragraph style properties lineHeightMultiple, maximumLineHeight, and minimumLineHeight I can achieve the effect of condensing the lines, but one side effect is that the top line of text just gets clipped off. So I thought that I'd just be able to move the text down with NSBaselineOffsetAttributeName (using a negative value), but that doesn't seem to have any effect. I'm using a line height here of 70% of the point size, but the clipping gets far worse the more condensed it gets.
1) Is there a better way to produce a condensed font line spacing? 2) Or how would you move the text rendering downward so it doesn't get clipped.
<update>
Ok my answer below does address a solution when using NSTextField's. But this obviously doesn't work for NSTextView's too. I tired to override the baselineOffset in the NSLayoutManagerDelegate's shouldSetLineFragmentRect... method, but it also ignores baseline adjustments. Anyone have any suggestions when working with the NSTextView?

Thanks!
Here's the test project I'm working with https://www.dropbox.com/s/jyshqeuirujf71g/WhatThe.zip?dl=0
Codez:
self.label.wantsLayer = YES;
self.label.backgroundColor = [NSColor whiteColor];
self.label.hidden = NO;
self.label.maximumNumberOfLines = 0;
NSMutableDictionary *result = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
NSMutableParagraphStyle *paragraphStyle = [NSMutableParagraphStyle new];
NSFont *font = [NSFont systemFontOfSize:80.0f];
CGFloat lineHeight = font.pointSize * .7f;
CGFloat natualLineHeight = font.ascender + ABS(font.descender) + font.leading;
paragraphStyle.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
paragraphStyle.alignment = NSTextAlignmentLeft;
paragraphStyle.lineHeightMultiple = lineHeight / natualLineHeight;
paragraphStyle.maximumLineHeight = lineHeight;
paragraphStyle.minimumLineHeight = lineHeight;
paragraphStyle.paragraphSpacing = 0.0f;
paragraphStyle.allowsDefaultTighteningForTruncation = paragraphStyle.lineBreakMode != NSLineBreakByWordWrapping && paragraphStyle.lineBreakMode != NSLineBreakByCharWrapping && paragraphStyle.lineBreakMode != NSLineBreakByClipping;
result[NSParagraphStyleAttributeName] = paragraphStyle;
result[NSKernAttributeName] = @(0.0f);
result[NSBaselineOffsetAttributeName] = @(-50.0f);
result[NSFontAttributeName] = font;
result[NSForegroundColorAttributeName] = [NSColor blackColor];
NSAttributedString *attributedString = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Hello\nThere" attributes:result];
self.label.attributedStringValue = attributedString;
Ok. By subclassing NSTextFieldCell I was able to offset the text correctly. It's a shame that this method works nicely in iOS-land. Maybe this will work when the unified Mac/iOS UI APIs are released this summer. 😁
This will remove any negative baseline values from the string before it draws and draw inside a shifted rect.
- (void)drawInteriorWithFrame:(NSRect)cellFrame inView:(NSView *)controlView {
NSRect titleRect = [self titleRectForBounds:cellFrame];
NSMutableAttributedString *string = [self.attributedStringValue mutableCopy];
__block CGFloat baselineOffset = 0.0f;
[string enumerateAttributesInRange:NSMakeRange(0, string.length) options:0 usingBlock:^(NSDictionary<NSAttributedStringKey,id> * _Nonnull attrs, NSRange range, BOOL * _Nonnull stop) {
NSNumber *offsetValue = attrs[NSBaselineOffsetAttributeName];
if (offsetValue != nil && offsetValue.floatValue < 0.0f) {
baselineOffset = MIN(baselineOffset, offsetValue.floatValue);
[string removeAttribute:NSBaselineOffsetAttributeName range:range];
}
}];
titleRect.origin.y -= baselineOffset;
[string drawInRect:titleRect];
}
